Suggest Remedy For Seizure

I think my granddaughter had a seizure and when we took her to the er we were released and told to observe her because she didn t have any sign currently. She is 1-1/2 and was in daycare. It scared the heck out of her teacher and they described my granddaughter has walking sortta in a drunken state, her left arm drawn up to her chest and shaking, she said she was non responsive but had a look of horror and then she fell and hit her head on the table. We rushed her to the er and after waiting 3-1/2 hours, went into the room and they briefly examined her (no blood work, x-rays or nothing) just listened to her lungs, looked in her ears and checked to see if she was running a fever. They said she appeared to be fine and to take her home but observe her ever 2 hours.

Pediatrician, Gastroenterology 's  Response
I understand your concerns.
The history depicted by you is consistent with a seizure. However for epilepsy we need at least 2 seizures 24 hours apart.
It would be of great help if you record such a scenario with a smart phone. It would help to understand the attending physician about the condition of child. Otherwise Electroencephlogram (EEG) of the child can be done.
Anti convulsants given for seizures are only advisable after the above test and opinion from your attending Pediatrician.
